Why Alpha Epsilon Phi
Consistent with our Founders' thoughts over 100 years ago, our primary purpose is to create an environment where lasting friendships can be formed for our members. We encourage an atmosphere among college women which fosters high ideals of friendship, promotes their educational and cultural interests, creates in them a true sense of social responsibility, and develops in them the best qualities of character. Through our Alpha Epsilon Phi Foundation, we support our members' academic endeavors with undergraduate scholarships, as well as programming initiatives. Every member is unique and yet we all share a single bond of friendship through Alpha Epsilon Phi. AEPhi is more than just a collegiate experience; it is a lifetime of commitment, support, and opportunity awaiting you!
Alpha Epsilon Phi is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an umbrella organization for 26 inter/national women's fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society. Each college campus has its own collegiate Panhellenic. AEPhi recruits members under NPC guidelines and those of the local Panhellenic organization.
Benefits of Joining AEPhi:
Service
AEPhi’s members are dedicated and creative in finding ways to "Do Good." Each year, thousands of Alpha Epsilon Phi collegians and alumnae donate time, money, and talent to Sharsheret and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Beta Lambda chapter raises money through our annual Pink Shabbat or Ultimate Phrisbee events. The college experience is enhanced by Alpha Epsilon Phi’s strong commitment to serving others.
Sisterhood
The unique joys of sisterhood found in Alpha Epsilon Phi membership are boundless. Finding your big sis, studying together, living together, sharing your worries and your dreams are treasured moments. Women with the same goals and ideals create a sisterhood of mutual respect. This bond of friendship that begins in college will last a lifetime.
